Funding is available for innovative industry-led projects that help attract, develop and retain a strong workforce of VET educators.

The VET workforce plays a key role in delivering the skills needed by Queensland’s regions and industries.

Government funding is available for projects that can unlock new ways to:

  • increase participation in the VET workforce
  • support VET workforce mobility
  • maximise the use of the current VET workforce.

It’s part of a suite of initiatives designed to deliver a strong pipeline of VET educators and provide the skills Queensland needs.
